THE CLONE WHO LOVED TO BAKE BREAD
By M.G. LEWIS

M.G. Lewis takes you into a world set in the not-so-far-off future with a foundation in the present. Class and fear rule all aspects of society; money (or credits) actually can buy you health, comfort, and essentials for living; and those that have ruthlessly fight to ensure that they don’t become the have-nots. Not too far a stretch of the imagination unfortunately.

In THE CLONE WHO LOVED TO BAKE BREAD John Holt learns that he is a clone when he meets Aaron, another of The Nesrady Clones. The Nesrady Clones fall into the Special Projects category but no one seems to know why, or if they do, they are keeping that secret to themselves. As John tries to uncover the reason he was created, it is becoming evident that several other entities are interested in him – from corporations like the United Genetics Services and the doctor who created the clones to security forces and nefarious have-nots willing to sell anything for a few credits. In this fast-paced game of cat and mouse, John realizes that he is developing special powers that could either save his life or be responsible for his demise.

This book is full of randy callous men, lusty ladies who use whatever they have to survive, politics that would make even the most jaded government official’s head spin, and enough twists and turns to keep you on your mental toes throughout the pages. And Lewis stretches your imagination when it comes to clones. Far from the stereotypical notion of bodies just sitting around waiting to have their parts used for replacements, his clones have senses of humor, hearts of gold, and humanization that makes you root for their survival. And one of them even loves to bake bread. A fun read.
